Year 2003 came with great promise, but all hopes for our family were shattered when we faced the biggest calamity, Dad left us in the very begriming of the year. A sorrow which we are still coming to terms with, a vacuum which can never be filled. As the year passed and as we have slowly realized, life has to go on.
Amidst this gloom and solitude, one thing i realized was the strength that i have with me. The strength of the wonderful people called friends, who have been there in real terms during good times and bad. Who have been that source of strength and inspiration, who have been pushing me hard to smile and to live life like Dad's brave little girl. Thanks a lot people, for making me a part of your life.
As we big good by to 2003 and 2004 becokns, here's wishing all of u a very happy new year. Have a blast on New Year DAy, and May 2004 bring in loads and loads of good wish, health, happiness, wealth and smiles.
Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past. ~Henry Ward Beecher

Another year has just whizzed by, and along with the year so many memories, sweet-sour, happy-sad. That's how life is meant to be! At the threshold of another year, I gear myself to face the world, with renewed vigor. And as I grow a year older today, I pray that I grow equally wiser !
From the minute start it has been great, so many calls, wishes, cards, flowers...amazing, am just dumb stuck. Long forgotten friends calling is what has just taken me by surprise. Thanks a ton all of U...U made my day :)
God Bless all of U!

Daily Vigilance
Just as the bald eagle must be vigilant every day to survive in this old-growth forest of giant cedar trees, we too must be vigilant every day in our old (or new) growth companies to protect assets, win new business, survive the downturn, and prepare to thrive in the eventual upturn
This is the quote on the cover page of a journal called "Executive Excellence".

"Strange are the ways of the world and stranger are the ways of men." This is one quote which always comes to my mind come what situation. Wonder who said this, its the most appropriate description of the vague behavior of human being.
Human behavior has always kindled my curiosity. And this is not a recent development, As a year old kid, I tore the first twenty pages of one of the bibles of Psychology, which my aunt has brought for herself. Maybe I was so disgusted with the way it was depicted that I just let my fury on it.
Irrational and illogical behavior gets me on my nerves. I loose my patience when people try to monopolize and get their own way with people. Its not that I let people use me as a scape goat. But my silence at times is taken for granted. Each time I decide, enough is enough, but then I forget sooner than expected, but forgive I do it very very slow.
Going through Ferzana's blog, I was dumb stuck. Though I have been following whats on with her, I have not had the strength to write to her. I just hope that she gets over this sooner than she expects it to get over.
Again, Strange are the ways of life and stranger the ways of men??

Never realized that its 3 days since I made a post...I am letting myself get so unaware of the world around me? I don't know...Maybe its just that I am cruising along with the current without the knowledge of whats happening.
Too much for a Friday evening....cut it out. Have a good weekend and I shall catch up Monday with more brightness :-D

"DREAMS visit us when we are asleep, but God is truly wise, He wakes us up each day and gives us every chance to make our DREAMS come true"
Am sure this statement would make u smile and brood upon the magic of dreams. Dreams just don't come true in a day or two, for a few it takes a life time, for some much less than that. Whats more important is to have faith in the magical world of dreams to come true.
All of us have dreams and ambitions in life. Things in life are divided (according to me) as "Must have", "Good to have" and "Nice to have". Ofcourse this list changes at our whim and fancy, becoz we are the creators of dreams and we are the ones who need to pursue it.
Dream is to have that pretty dress which you would have seen at the mall, dream is to own the car which someone always drove and u looked with awe. Dream is to bring the smile on ur face and onto others upon successful accomplishment of a task, dream is the content look after reaching the one goal in life.
I suddenly realized that my goals and dreams seem to be changing like the ever changing demands of a teenager. Something i have never had control of...the past...the present or the future...

Picture this:
A pigeon whose wings got clipped (God knows how), starts hoping, out of no where two dogs start fighting to get the chubby pigeon as their dinner. This was in one of the posh residential layouts and the dogs belonged to a rich fellow. I was about to park and get out, when I saw this cruel scene. To distract their attention, I started honking loudly, and the pigeon tried to hop under one of the big cars, but the dogs were hell bent on having a upper hand on it...I could not stand it longer just came away from there. Feeling lousy that i could not do anything at all for the little birdie.
So strange na? We tend to loose control over small things in life and there is absolutely nothing at all we can do.

Patthar Kaha Gaya Kabhi Sheesha Kaha Gaya
Dil Jaisi Ek Cheez Ko Kya-Kya Kaha Gaya
Sheron Mein Us Husn Ko Kya-Kya Kaha Gaya
Badal Ko Zulf, Phool Ko Chehra Kaha Gaya
Soche Toh Yeh Bhi Ek Kafaas Hi Toh Hai Jise
Teh_zeeb Ki Zubaan Mein Kamara Kaha Gaya
Ek Baat Ekhteyaar Se Bahar Jo Ki Us_se
Kis Khubsoorti Se U_se Tamaana Kaha Gaya
Hairat Unki Bazm Mein Mohbaat, Nikal 'Zaffar'
Mujhse Gunaah-E-Gair Ko Apana Kaha Gaya"
